Chapter 59 The Cold Prince's Sweetheart

The staff asked Jian Yue to fill out a form, then handed him a card and said, "This is your residence card in our nightmare world. From today on, with this ID card, you can enter the player lobby and trading hall in three days. Now you can take the cloud ship here to travel to various territories in the dream world. Each territory has different rules. Be careful about your words and deeds. If you violate the rules of the territory, you will be repatriated by law enforcers."

Jian Yue asked: "Can we go back to the real world?"

"Yes, but you are already dead in the real world. If you want to go back, you need to get a resident card from various circles. You can exchange your points for survival time. When you have enough points, you can apply to return to the real world." The staff said: "It depends on the specific rules of each neighborhood."

Jian Yue asked: "How many neighborhoods are there in this nightmare world? Are the rulers of each area different?"

The staff member replied, "There are four neighborhoods, Moon, Thunder, Spark, and each has a different ruler. Well, you've asked enough questions, now you should go."

Jian Yue thought that this staff member was really impatient, but he had no choice but to nod and say, "See you later."

Turning back, I found that at the front of the hall was an arc-shaped pillar. There were six pillars in total, embroidered with intricate and gorgeous patterns. There was a portal between every two pillars, which seemed to lead to different realms.

Jian Yue guessed that the place he just came out of should be the newcomer hall.

Further ahead, there is a larger portal not far away. This should be where some of the more experienced taskers are teleported. After they come out, they will walk to the teleportation pillar without any hesitation and accurately find the portal they want to enter.

Some of them were hesitant in front of the portal, with curious looks on their faces, occasionally scratching their heads, and it was obvious that they were newcomers.

When Jian Yue walked to the transmission hall, the communicator on his wrist suddenly lit up. He pressed the green button and heard a familiar voice coming from the other end: "Butler Wang! Is that you?"

"Tiantian?" Jian Yue asked hesitantly. After all, he was somewhat familiar with the girl's voice.

Tiantian said happily: "Oh my god, it's really you, Mengmeng, your card is so magical, it really has a reaction no matter where you are!!"

Jian Yue asked: "How did you find me?"

Li Meng's voice came from the communicator: "After you came out, we waited for you in the novice hall for a while, but no one who matched your information came out. When I came out of Wanfu Village, the system rewarded me with an extra chance to use the card outside the dungeon. In order to find you, Tiantian and I would try once a day."

Jian Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Aren't you afraid that I would have died a long time ago?"

Li Meng said: "I read your fortune and it said that your soul has not dispersed, so I guess you must still be alive."

The more Jian Yue thought, the more talented people there were in the nightmare world.

"Then let's make an appointment to meet, Steward Wang!" Tiantian said, "We are in the Moon Realm! Go through Exit 3, we will be waiting for you in the Moon Realm Hall!"

Jian Yue walked to the teleportation hall and saw a pillar with a moon engraved on it. Other pillars were engraved with flames, flowers, and lightning. He guessed that this pillar was the Moon Realm. He walked in without hesitation. There was a small path from the teleportation portal, and the path was surrounded by a sea of ​​clouds that seemed to have no end.

A group of people are waiting for the boat.

There were also many people chatting among themselves:

"I'm new here, are you guys too?"

"Me too, me too."

"I heard from the receptionist that the Moon Realm is the most friendly territory for newcomers. I have few points, so I plan to go there and take a look."

"Same here, me too."

"I didn't expect the world outside the dungeon to be so big. I haven't been to any of the major realms yet. I wonder if the administrators of the Moon Realm are easy to get along with?"

"I don't know. I'm a little nervous too!"

Jian Yue stood at the back, looking at the sea of ​​clouds not far away. After a while, a huge ship came over, with a huge crescent moon logo engraved on the top of the ship.

A deck was slowly lowered.

When all the players enter the deck to board the ship, a large screen will scan everyone's body. Every time a person passes by, the screen will make a mechanical sound:

"Come to the Moon Realm, be a law-abiding good player, not a wanderer, and you will be allowed to enter."

"Come to the Moon Realm, be a law-abiding good player, not a wanderer, and you will be allowed to enter."

"Come to the Moon Realm, be a law-abiding good player, not a wanderer, and you will be allowed to enter."

Some newcomers who didn't understand asked, "What does wanderer mean?"

Someone who knows a little bit more answered, "A wanderer is someone who uses some bad means in the dungeon, such as killing people. They will be judged as an exile by the system. But I heard that the rules of the Moon Realm are a little stricter. This is the only place where players who have killed NPCs are not allowed to enter. Once they are found out, they will be permanently expelled from the Moon Realm."

Everyone was talking about it.

The boat started.

At the beginning, you can see the sky full of clouds. After slowly entering the interior of the moon, you can see the sky full of stars and the moon hanging in the sky. It is so beautiful that it seems like entering a fairyland.

Many people were stunned by what they saw.

The ship slowly approached the port, and a mechanical voice sounded again: "Welcome to the Moon Realm. Obey the law and be a happy citizen of the Moon Realm. Please disembark in an orderly manner, avoid crowding, and take your personal belongings with you..."

Jian Yue thought to himself that it was a nagging system, but it was good enough to annoy other people and make them happy. If he had a boat, he would nag others like this too.

Everyone walked to the back of the line and got off the boat.

Came to the entrance hall.

I saw two little girls from a distance. One had a ponytail and looked very lively, and the other had her hair tied up and looked very quiet.

Six eyes met.

The other party said: "King..."

Jian Yue said: "You can just call me Xiao Jian. We are outside the dungeon now, so there is no need to call me by that name."

Tiantian immediately said, "Brother Jian! Then you should just call me by my nickname Tiantian."

Li Meng also said: "Well, my real name is Li Xinmeng, you can call me whatever you want, Brother Jian."

Jian Yue was too lazy to correct them. The three of them found a quiet corner to sit down. He got straight to the point and said, "How long after you did I come out?"

He wanted to know the time difference between here and outside the copy.

"Probably...close to three days." Tiantian said.

Jian Yue nodded. He and Shen Yushu had lived together for more than twenty years. It seemed that ten years in the copy was just one day in the nightmare world. This was not a very long time, so it was good.

Li Meng said: "We are now in the novice protection period. We can enter a new instance after ten days. Now Tiantian and I have about seven days left, but in fact, we have to choose an instance one day in advance, otherwise we will be forced to be assigned a instance by the system."

Jian Yue said, "I just checked my time, and there are only seven or eight days left, so it should have been deducted."

The system counted the years he and Shen Yushu spent together as rest time.

Tiantian said happily: "Then we can team up to go to the next dungeon, that's great!!"

Li Meng also nodded and said, "I think so too, because I heard that the difficulty of the dungeon will gradually increase. Although Tiantian and I don't have the strongest cards, I have used points to exchange for a little time during this period. I went back to the real world to get my talisman and props. I think I can help in the dungeon."

Tiantian also immediately raised her hand and said, "Take me with you, please take me with you. I won't cry for every little thing anymore. I will give you my teleportation card unconditionally!"

Jian Yue smiled. He didn't really care, but he still said, "Scarface and Wen Yu should be organized. They said before that if I provoke them, they won't let me go easily. I even suspect that if I go to a new instance, I might meet new people from their organization, and you will be in danger."

Li Meng frowned.

Tiantian also took a breath, and the two girls looked at each other, realizing the seriousness of the matter.

Jian Yue said: "So I..."

"So we should be together." Li Meng said, "Otherwise, wouldn't it be more dangerous for you to be alone in the dungeon without help?"

Tiantian also nodded immediately and said, "Yes, and we both have a grudge against them. We are the ones who hate them the most. To be honest, we are victims. There is nothing we can do about it, but we can prevent others from becoming their next victims. I can't save Brother Kun, which is my lifelong pain, but I can prevent another me from appearing."

Li Meng also said: "Brother Jian, you don't have to feel like you're dragging us down. This is our own decision and what we want to do."

Seeing them say this, Jian Yue said, "Okay, then we'll choose a copy to enter in five days."

The three people just finished speaking.

There was a wave from a nearby guy, a sturdy-looking guy said, "Hi! Are you guys done chatting?"

Jian Yue raised his head and asked hesitantly, "What is this?"

Tiantian introduced: "This is Zhang Chong in the dungeon, he is..."

"Is this Steward Wang?" Zhang Chong's eyes were red on his sturdy face. He rushed over and held Jian Yue's hand tightly and said, "My savior! You are my savior. I cannot repay you for your kindness. Without you, there would be no me. In the future, I will go through fire and water for you! Benefactor, please accept my kneeling!"

Jian Yue immediately stopped him and told him not to pay for it: "Don't kneel, I don't have any red envelope for you."

Zhang Chong rubbed his head happily and said, "It's great that you're still alive, Steward Wang. Don't you know that the players' forum has been talking about you for the past two days, saying that you're dead."

Jian Yue had never logged into the forum, but he still instructed: "No matter what others say, I don't want my identity in the game to be confused with my identity outside. I hope you can keep it a secret for me."

All three of them nodded. In the nightmare world, those who came out of the novice copy together had the closest relationship, and they were basically friends who would risk their lives for each other.

Zhang Chong pulled out a chair and sat down: "By the way, now that we are all here, we should discuss important matters. Have you thought about which field you want to apply for a residence permit?"

Tiantian also immediately said: "I have thought about it, but I haven't figured it out yet."

Zhang Chong is enthusiastic and well-informed. He said, "I've been hanging out on forums these days and have learned a lot. I know all about these four territories. The Moon Realm is the friendliest neighborhood for novices. It has good benefits and is very safe. But its disadvantage is that it is relatively weak. There are no strong guilds or management. I heard that none of the top ten players on the list are from the Moon Realm."

Li Meng frowned and said, "Why? Is it because the Moon Realm is not good? It is obviously a very livable place."

"I heard that. I just heard that." Zhang Chong whispered, "I heard that the Moon Realm is the largest territory in the entire nightmare world. The lord and all the managers are the top ten players. They took on a SSR-level dungeon with poetic difficulty. As a result, there were five people in total when they entered. In the end, none of them came out. Everyone guessed that they were dead."

Tiantian took a breath and said, "How could this happen?"

Zhang Chong also said, "That's right. Later, because the strongest players disappeared, the Moon Realm began to decline. It was only later that a few younger generations took up the responsibility and suppressed the unrest. However, in recent years, because of the decline of the Moon Realm, those powerful players have chosen areas with more resources and territory. Therefore, in recent years, whether it is the guild competition or the rankings, the Moon Realm has been getting lower and lower. They say that the Moon Realm is a moon that cannot rise."

Tiantian slammed the table angrily: "This is outrageous, you are just looking down on others!"

Jian Yue looked at him with amusement: "Why are you in such a hurry? It's as if you are already a resident of the Moon Realm."

Li Meng said, "When Tiantian and I first arrived at the lobby, the receptionist ignored us because there were so many people. When we didn't know which entrance to choose, a senior from the Human Moon Realm showed us the way, so we have a very good impression of this place. Brother Jian, which field do you want to go to?"

Jian Yue asked Zhang Chong: "Are other neighborhoods very different from here?"

"The style of each realm is a little different." Zhang Chong said: "Most people in the Thunder and Fire Realms admire martial arts. Basically, only those with strong skills and cards can go there. Brother Jian, you are so powerful, they will definitely be willing to accept you. As for the Flower Realm, it is different from the other three realms. Trade is very developed there. There are dark markets and auctions. Basically, everything can be bought and sold there. It is very suitable for people who want to do business, but not suitable for living, because the prices are very high. It is a place of debauchery and extravagance."

He thought that Butler Wang would definitely like the Flower World more. After all, he loved money and would definitely be very successful there!

However, Jian Yue just thought about it and said, "Then I will stay in the Moon Realm."

Tiantian was curious: "Why?"

They thought that Jian Yue was going to stay here to revitalize the Moon Realm and become a powerful figure in the future. There was less competition in the Moon Realm, and maybe it would be easier for him to come to the fore in the future. Butler Wang was indeed far-sighted!

Jian Yue said seriously, "I heard that there is a housing subsidy for newcomers here, the rent is reduced by half, and there is even free boiled water provided here, which can save water bills!"

Everyone: “…”

Higher, but not completely higher.

"Of course." Jian Yue's smile faded a little. He pushed his glasses and said, "I heard that this is the only territory where killing NPCs is prohibited. I think it's not bad."

Li Meng said: "I also think this place is pretty good. I heard that the president of the largest guild here, Scarlet, is a woman. When the Moon Realm was in trouble, it was basically she and several management members who supported it. I admire her a lot, and I want to stay here."

Tiantian immediately said, "I'll stay too. I know I don't have much ability, but I'll try my best. Maybe in the future we can rely on our own efforts to stay on the list and let others not look down on us anymore!"

Zhang Chong smiled and said, "It's great that you all don't leave. Actually, I have a sister who disappeared a few years ago. She likes the moon element very much. I always feel that if she comes to the nightmare world, she will definitely come here. I want to stay here to find her."

Jian Yue said, "If that's the case, then it's settled. Let's go get the house first."

Everyone followed the instructions and came to the registration office.

There weren't many people queuing here, but it still took more than ten minutes.

The person in charge of registration said to Jian Yue: "Show us your ID card, and we will randomly match you with a house."

Jian Yue showed the information card he had just received. After the person registering scanned it, the screen panel turned red and a line of words popped up: "Already have a property, input error!"

The registrant was stunned. After confirming that this was indeed the ID card of the new person, he said to his companion: "The machine seems to have a problem."

The companions also scanned Li Meng and the others, and they were all red.

"There is indeed a problem." The person who registered said, "Wait a moment, the equipment may be old, we will replace it with a new one."

Tiantian whispered, "As expected, the Moon Realm has not developed well in recent years. The equipment has become like this and they haven't changed it yet."

Li Meng also nodded slightly.

After a while, the registrant brought new equipment. This time, after the equipment jumped, it began to randomly allocate. Finally, Jian Yue got his own room number. It was a house on the river bank. It was not bad. There was a large piece of land at the back, suitable for growing vegetables. Tiantian and Li Meng were assigned a little far away, but they were all in the same area.

Zhang Chong said, "Then let's split up and look for our own houses first, and then get together again if there's anything else?"

Tiantian and the others nodded, and everyone added each other’s contact information before parting.

Jian Yue returned to his house. The Moon Realm was truly a place of long nights, with stars always filling the sky and the moon always hanging high in the sky. Jian Yue stood at the window of his house and looked at the sky. He thought that the former lord of the Moon Realm must have been a very lonely person, because only lonely people would like to look at the sky, just like the years he had been wandering in the world after his grandparents died.

The thing he did most at night was to look up at the sky.

Lonely people seem to be very familiar with the sky. The more than twenty years he spent with Shen Yushu were the years when he looked at the night sky the least. Now that Shen Yushu is gone, he began to look at the night sky again.

In fact, he didn't miss the night at all, he missed Shen Yushu.

"The moon is so beautiful." Jian Yue subconsciously touched his empty fingertips and chuckled: "I really hope you can see it too."

*

A few days later

It's time to download the copy.

Tiantian and Li Meng arrived at the Player Square early. They had been cramming a lot of knowledge points in the past few days and finally felt a little confident.

Jian Yue asked: "Can I choose the copy myself?"

"We can only choose from here for our levels and points. This is a C-difficulty dungeon." Li Meng pointed to the dungeon pool not far away and said, "There are many here."

Jian Yue said: "I only have one here."

In his sight, there was only one copy option, which clearly read: [Hope Island College]

Jian Yue told them about this.

Tiantian was stunned and said, "How could that be? I don't have a copy of this Hope Island!"

Li Meng thought for a moment and said, "It could only be that Butler Wang's level is too high. The system shows it is not a normal difficulty copy. The two of us cannot enter."

Jian Yue asked: "Do we need to go in separately?"

"Let's put on this bracelet." Li Meng said, "I bought this bracelet from the mall. After putting it on, players who enter the dungeon together are likely to be randomly assigned together. Butler Wang, please go in first. Let's go in through the random channel and see if there is such a probability."

Jian Yue said: "Then doesn't it mean that the two of you may also separate?"

Tiantian clasped her hands together and said, "We can only leave it to fate. If we are separated, it must be bad luck. I hope we can still survive or get out. Then we will have a feast!"

Everyone was laughing.

But they all understood that if they really separated this time, it might be the last time they saw each other. After all, the copy was so dangerous that they had barely escaped death.

Jian Yue put on the bracelet and said, "Let's go."

He took the lead in clicking the button for Hope Island College, and felt his eyes light up, and his consciousness became dazed for a moment. It was a very strange feeling, like feeling dizzy when riding a roller coaster, and it was very similar to the feeling when he first entered the copy of Wanfu Village.

When I opened my eyes again.

What was in front of him was no longer the player lobby, but a very large ship. He slowly sat up and found himself in a cabin. Looking through the glass beside him, he saw the endless sea.

Isn't it Hope Island College?

Why is it the sea?

He was stunned, and then he heard the happy voices of others: "Oh my God, Xiao Wang, you have been chosen by the lottery, and you will be Mr. Leng's servant from now on!!"

Jian Yue: “…”

How come your surname is Wang again?

"Are you so happy that you're silly!" The man said happily, "I didn't expect you could become his companion. He is one of the four kings in our Hope Island School F4. You should know that the people in this aristocratic school are all chosen by the gods. You are now Mr. Leng's servant. If he likes you and you become his housekeeper, your treatment will be upgraded. You are so lucky. You must take care of us in the future!"

Jian Yue: "What's the matter with cold and hot? Why should I be his servant?"

As soon as the words fell.

The system panel suddenly popped up: [No. 543 Moon Realm Resident has been loaded successfully, and the content of this mission is being loaded for you...]

[Dungeon Name: The Cold Prince's Sweetheart: Domineering School Prince Don't Kiss Me]

[Player identity: Leng Shao's companion]

[Main Quest: Correct the world plot. The monitor of Class 2, Grade 3 of Hope Island died mysteriously. Find out the real reason for her death and help her fulfill her last wish.]

Tips: [Current health value is 45%. If the health value is less than 1%, the player will die. Please increase the health value in time. Please increase the health value in time! ]

After reading it, Jian Yue closed the system panel and felt a little headache.

After all, waking up from a sleep and finding myself a servant again, isn't this really the fate of being a slave?

The people next to him were still saying, "Xiao Wang, you are unhappy, why are you in a daze all the time, don't you want to be Mr. Leng's servant?"

"How would I know if I don't even know him?" Jian Yue said honestly, "And why do you call him Young Master Leng? Doesn't he have a full name? What is his full name?"

The person next to him coughed lightly: "I'm afraid it's too long and you won't be able to remember it."

Jian Yue smiled and said, "It's just a name, why can't I remember it? Just tell me, I have a good memory."

"Well then." He said, "Mr. Leng's full name is Leng Lishang. Mo Gushen Meiyu. Meng Liyufan Leiyi. Xue Shangyu. Ling..."

"That's enough." Jian Yue stopped him in despair: "I suddenly feel that the name Leng Shao is so nice. Let's continue to call him Leng Shao from now on!"
